Dating back to 1866 when Cadwallader Washburn opened a flour mill in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the company has grown throughout the years, including introducing its first ready-to-eat cereal, Wheaties, in 1924. Several cereals joined the General Mills family, including Kix in 1937 and Cheerioats, later renamed to Cheerios, in 1941.http://www.generalmills.com/corporate/company/history_timeilne/history.html

General Mills, which also operates the Gold Medal Flour, Betty Crocker and Bisquick product lines, merged with Pillsbury in 2001. The cereal line also changed around that time, making each cereal made with whole grains. The decision to switch to whole grains was made after studies showed that the vitamins and other nutrients in whole grains can help reduce the risk of common health problems including heart disease, diabetes and obesity.http://www.generalmills.com/corporate/brands/category.aspx?catID=19412&groupID=19412
